Chapter ten

Over the next couple of weeks, Harry just kept wanting sex to the point that Charlie was exhausted and had to tell Harry just to slow down a bit. Charlie had never been with a man that had so much energy and just wanted to go all the time.

Harry happily stepped into the Burrow, he smiled at everyone before kissing Charlie then sat beside him, but his hand ran up Charlie's thigh until the large dragon handlers own hand stopped Harry's from moving.

'No, I'm completely knackered, so no, not today.'

Harry sulked but heard Ginny giggle and Mrs. Weasley gave a small chuckle before leaving the kitchen.

'Oh, okay, are you sure, you don't have to do anything, I'll do it all.'

'No, blimey Harry, give me a break. Where in the name of merlin do you get all this energy from?'

Harry shrugs, 'My life, something was always going on. So am I really wearing you out?'

'You are Harry, he came in last night and could hardly walk up the stairs he was so knackered. What do you do to him?'

'Oh, wouldn't you like to know, which you won't,' Harry chuckled, 'Okay, we'll take a break. I need to go shopping anyway, I want to get a few things, but I might buy another broom while I'm out. Do you want to come with me babe?'

'No, I want to rest.'

Harry sighed, 'Okay, sorry, you should have said something earlier.'

'Yes, I should have, but you are insatiable.'

'I'm addicted to you, but I'll let you rest. Do you want me to come back here later or go home and leave you completely alone?'

'No, I like being with you, I just don't want sex but a lot of rest, so come back.'

'Okay,' Harry grinned then kissed Charlie again.

'I'll come with you Harry, there's a few things I want and I hate shopping on my own.'

'Great, you can give me your opinion on some new shirts.'

'I can do that, I'll see if mum wants anything,' Ginny got up and went into her mother's potions room.

'I'm sorry babe, I didn't realise, but I've always had a lot of energy.'

'It's fine Harry, I just need a break. Do you realise that's the first time I've ever said that or needed that.'

'No,' Harry smiled sheepishly, 'But you still want sex with me, just not now?'

'Yes, we just have to stop occasionally Harry, especially now I'm working.'

'Okay, I get it. Maybe I should see about the aurors then, that might take some of my energy and I won't wear you out all the time,' Harry smirked making Charlie chuckle.

'You're being a smart arse Potter. But my sister is ready, kiss me and go.'

Harry chuckled kissed Charlie then stood up, 'I'll see you soon…lover.'

'Get out of here Harry,' Charlie shook his head in amusement, 'What have I done to you.'

Harry and Ginny laughed then stepped outside, 'He really is looking tired,' Ginny grinned.

'Yeah, I should have realised. But once he showed me everything, I just can't get enough of him.'

Ginny stared at Harry for a minute, 'You love Charlie don't you Harry?'

Harry shrugs, 'Yeah, but I know he's not ready to hear that, so please don't say anything to him.'

'I won't, but you might be surprised. Now let's go shop,' Ginny slipped her arm through Harry's and they turned together but Ginny allowed Harry to guide her.

After hours of shopping with a lot of laughter, Harry and Ginny headed into Diagon Alley to pick up some things for Mrs. Weasley. The moment they stepped onto the cobble street, people surged around them, but Ginny was being pushed back.

'Hey, you're hurting my friend, careful,' Harry said grabbing Ginny's arm and pulling her to his side, 'Are you okay Ginny?'

'Fine, I'm fine Harry,' Ginny gave him a smile, 'Just talk to them for a minute, I'll go get mum's things.'

'Okay, I'll meet you up there,' Harry turned back and smiled shyly at the crowd.

'Is she your girlfriend Harry?' a woman called out.

'No, she's my friend, but she's also sister to my partner, Charlie Weasley.'

'Oh, when did you know you were gay?' a man called.

'A few weeks after the fighting, been a bit busy to work it out before.'

'Weasley, isn't that your friends last name, the one that helped you?'

'Yes, Ron Weasley, his away with his girlfriend and my other friend Hermione Granger.'

'So those rumours about you and Hermione?'

'Not true, she's always been my friend, that's all.'

'Do you know what you want to do now he's gone?'

'I'm going to be an auror, but everyone told me to rest for a while, so that's what I've been doing.'

'So even after all those years of facing him and his death eaters you still want to fight?'

'I want to make sure our world is safe, as safe as I can make it. From the time I was fourteen I knew being an auror was the right choice of career for me, it's what I'm good at and suited for. I really need to go, I have some more shopping to do. It was nice to talk to all of you,' Harry smiled and finally the crowd let him through but patted his back as he moved.

Harry stepped into the apothecary and saw Ginny, 'It wasn't that bad, they did ask if you were my girlfriend though. So I had to explain that you were my partners sister.'

'How did they take the news that you're gay?'

'Fine,' Harry shrugged, 'didn't seem to worry them. I noticed it's more accepted in the magical world than the muggle world, it's still really frowned upon there.'

'Yeah, which is strange, it shouldn't matter who you're with as long as you both want it and love each other.'

'That's true and I love your brother,' Harry grinned.

'Oh you've got it bad don't you Harry,' Ginny laughs, 'I meant to tell you though, I'm going out with Seamus tomorrow night.'

'Seamus hey, well, you'll have a fun night with him.'

'Yes, I will, he always makes me laugh, but I'm done, we can go if you want?'

'Just a broom then we can, hey; do you still want to play professionally?'

'I do, so I'm hoping once I'm back at Hogwarts the scouts will visit again.'

'Then I'll get you a broom, a good luck gift, come on,' Harry grabs Ginny's hand and ignores her protests, he just drags her into quality quidditch supplies and ends up buying three brooms.

'Why three?'

'You, me and Charlie,' Harry grins then pays before they finally head back to the Burrow.

Harry and Ginny step inside, but they don't see Charlie anywhere, 'Where's Charlie?'

'Asleep on the settee in the living room Harry,' Molly smiles.

'Okay, well, take your broom Ginny and make sure you get spotted, you're too good, you should be playing professionally.'

'Thanks Harry even though I wished you didn't spend so much.'

Harry smiles then heads into the family room, he sat very gently beside Charlie and stared down at him while he slept and he couldn't stop smiling. He loved this man so much and wondered how he will react when he tells him. Will he like it, will it scare him, maybe he will want to ease back, that it's too serious. Harry didn't think Charlie would, but he also could help wondering just how he might handle the news that Harry loved him.
